A 116ac residential property a short distance from Belfast has recently come on the market. Listed with J. A. McClelland & Sons, ‘Fairview Farm’ provides a rare opportunity to acquire an extensive arable unit in one of Northern Ireland’s finest farming districts.
Situated on the outskirts of Dundonald, it has a substantial residence that along with the yard is located in the heart of a prime arable farm with a dairy past.
It is the former home of the deceased renowned Ulster ploughman Mr W Lawrence McMillan MBE, who won the prestigious ‘Golden Plough’ at the World Ploughing Contest held near Armoy in 1959.
Laid out in over 10 separate fields, the land is in a contiguous block and is suitable for any agricultural enterprise.
Currently, the fields are a mixture of grassland and stubble, all suitable for arable farming and with an intersecting lane throughout which could accommodate a dairy enterprise. Described as a holding that has been well farmed in recent years and is in a high state of fertility – and with three residences – it has a guide price of £2.8m.
Rural hinterland
The main farm residence known as 52 Greengraves Road has commanding views over the surrounding rural hinterland. A two-storey structure with four bedrooms, there are also three reception rooms in the farmhouse. It presents the future purchaser with the opportunity to refurbish the existing house into a modern home.
The land is all in one block and split between grassland and arable ground.
Alternatively, it also has the potential to provide a spectacular site for a replacement dwelling.
Along with the main residence, there are a pair of former farm workers cottages on the property. These, 50 and 50A Greengraves Road, are accessed off the laneway approach to the main holding.
Centrally located on the land, the yard contains a number of silos along with a hayshed and a large concreted area. Home to an expansive former dairy enterprise, the farmyard contains a range of buildings from its dairy past including cubicle housing. There is a good range of buildings within the yard. However, they now require some repair and modernisation.
The main residence and farmyard are centrally located on the land.
Along with a physical attribute of the house, yard and good-quality land, location is a major attraction for this property. It occupies a choice location within Dundonald, a suburb of Belfast just seven miles east of the city centre and all its attractions.
A popular residential area, Dundonald has a range of shops, schools and leisure facilities while Stormont Estate and the Ulster Hospital are in close proximity.
Just 10 minutes’ drive from Newtownards, this farm is within easy reach of both the A20 and A22 Roads giving excellent connectivity.
It has a guide price of £2.8m (€3.21m).
While some repairs and modernisation is required there is plenty potential in the yard.
